Kevin Hillstrom: MineThatData: Social Media Expert

April 03, 2009

Social Media Expert

Google searches, all terms must be consecutive:

Multichannel-Marketing-Expert = 266,000 results.
Catalog-Marketing-Expert = 268,000 results.
Database-Marketing-Expert = 293,000 results.
Affiliate-Marketing-Expert = 381,000 results.
Retail-Marketing-Expert = 539,000 results.
Email-Marketing-Expert = 12,700,000 results.
Search-Marketing-Expert = 16,900,000 results.
Social-Media-Expert = 383,000,000 results.

If each result generated just $8,000 in sales somewhere in the United States this year, we'd add $3 trillion to the GDP, ending the recession and creating seven million jobs in the process.

Oh well.

I really enjoy your blogposts and analyses, this one as well.

Yet, as a search-marketing-expert (pun intended), I've noticed that the searches don't include quotes " ". Without these, google will show results for these words in any web page, not necessarily in the exact word order.
You'll find a lower number of results, but "social-media-expert" still outnumbers all other searches.
